I had the privilige of setting the final May weekly DT challenge at ScrapDango last week. My challenge was to create/alter the background of a layout using stamping, heat embossing, masking or a combination of these techniques. And my example layout:

Have done a little scrapping today, after spending most of the weekend going through my supplies, reorganising and purging. No point packing up stuff ready for the big move that I don't really need. Will

for May featured the gorgeous Glitz Designs Vintage Love paper range and embellishments. These papers are lovely heavy wieght and double sided with subtle vintage patterns.The vintage journaling cards are versatile and suitable for a wide variety of layouts and are not particularly "lovey dovey".

A few months ago I won a scrapping competition ScrapDango and the prize was a Guest DT position. Heather sent me the fabulous Spice kit which featured Bella Man About the House papers, Cosmo Cricket alphas, the new Basic Grey Basics border and journal stickers and a variety of chipboard pieces:

My brief was to create a variety of layouts

one of which had to be a double layout

and an OTP

This is a seriously good kit for all your male or boy layouts and absolutely perfect for scrapping those upcoming Fathers Day photos.

That's all tonight. I'll be back tomorrow with my DT layouts for Scrap Pile.............

are Scrap Pile are up and running. For the month of May I am responsible for the Technique Challenge and the Inpiration Challenge. The technique challenge requires a layout to feature paper rolling as a method of distressing. A tutorial on paper rolling can be found HERE.
And my interpretation of the challenge

For the Inspiration challenge I decided to use the following quote (again)

"we do not remember days, we remember moments"

It's such a versatile quote and lends itself to nearly any photo. And my interpretation tis time

Desperately trying to use up some of my older goodies on every second layout!!

Currently working on some gorgeous Glitz design papers that Gill has sent me. Reveal will be very soon!! My scrapping is suffering amongst the house buying/selling.

I have a goal to secure a new home this week. I am 95% settled on a property, just need a look this week and then it's all systems go. Fingers crossed.

We had three inspections on this place over the weekend and three positive reports, one in particular very positive, so waiting to see if that materialises into something more definite. Here's hoping!!

during the month of May. My first task was to set a challenge for the NSD crop. the theme of the crop was "Be Inspired" and my challenge was to be inspired by a quote, and in particular this quote.........

"we do not remember days, we remember moments"

and my interpretation of the challenge

These Basic Grey Origins papers and embellishments are gorgeous. I ahve a few more layouts planned with them.
